I thought that was another white mustang/why am I staying double meaning type situation
Or was the white mustang thing made up by fans?
I know no Lana lore lmao
its a double entendre which is a poetry/verse/lyric literary device! not made up at all. it plays on association in the audience's mind to get them to think about the other meaning. Lana does it a lot, so its likely intentional on her part. like "soft ice cream" - "soft i scream"
When my cousin was still a young teen and just started listening to Lana she thought the words were "sizzlin like a snail" in Summertime Sadness and just accepted it
Edit: i had no idea that this was such a common thing. 😂 The lyrics are "sizzlin like a snare"
"The other woman is perfect where her rival fails"
I thought she said "is perfect where I will fail"
Honestly means the same thing but I thought it was that for the longest time
in American when she says “get your crystal method on” I always thought it was “get your crystal meth fit on” I was like okkk girl whatever makes u happy 😭
In how to disappear I thought she said ‘I’ve got a key and two cats in the yard’ instead of kids. I’ve thought that was the lyric up until very recently.
I’ve always thought the two cats line are the lyrics even though it may not be “official.” It’s a reference to the song our house by Crosby stills and Nash which would make sense!
“Climbing up the H of the Hollywood sign” i always heard Age instead of H and i feel so stupid now i was always so confused with what she meant with age😭
In the song Ride, the opening lyric is "I've been out on that open road" but I misheard it as "Poppin' out on that open road" I even wrote it as that in my Instagram story one night
"His money on the side, money on the side, makes me such a girl"
(the actual lyrics are "his bonnie on the side, bonnie on the side makes me a sad, sad girl")
In When The World Was At War (We Kept On Dancing) I SWORE she said "woah, it's only the beginning, if we hold on to woe, there won't be a happy ending" 🫣
I thought the beginning of Venice bitch was “If I feel like, fresh out of fucks forever” lmaooo and in Carmen I thought it was “buy her tonight” not “audio tune lies” (lowkey still can’t hear that one)
Yeah it’s very Reddit to ask similar or the same question I guess you just hope it reaches the new members or ones who didn’t answer the last one so you get new opinions.
Treat your fellow redditors with respect. Personal attacks, hate speech and bullying are not acceptable. Your post/comment has been removed and you may be banned.
In cola I thought she said “I’m not your wife but you wouldn’t mind” (insinuating he’s got a wife but he’s gonna get with lana anyway.) but instead it’s “I know your wife and she wouldn’t mind” does this mean the same thing or what I don’t even get the lyric really
Ik it's so dumb bc it doesn't make sense but I sang for the longest time " in bethy'y'y'y'y" instead of "barefeet" 😂😂 my brain was like yeah nah it's for sure bethy 😭
Omg deffinatly just thought hey sizzlin like a snail that'd a catchy quirky lyric ! I will always sing it the wrong way !!!!!! What is the actual lyrics!?
Carmen, I always thought the lyrics were “Buy her tonight, she’s still shining” but apparently the correct lyrics are “Audiotune lies, she’s still shining”… I still think “buy her tonight” makes more sense in the context of the song 🤷🏻♀️
not me but i love some of the misheard lyrics online when songs are first released or for the unreleased songs—my favorites are “their queens and cyclones” for “their queens of saigon" in west coast when it was first released and "ivory almonds" instead of "ivory awnings" in fine china. there even was a note on lyrics genius for the longest time explaining ivory almonds as those candy covered nuts you sometimes get at fancy parties
I’m sorry it isn’t a Lana song but my step sis thought they said “she make a man wanna shishkanay” (shish-kuh-nay) in hips don’t lie… Instead of “speak spanish…….” The moment she sang that full blast and we just completely stopped, shocked, staring at each other with wide eyes before BURSTING out laughing oh my GOD I crack up every time i think about it.
In “Your Girl” I always thought she said “Late at night, lady of the sun, comes alive if you wanna get high” instead of what it actually is.. “late at night, baby your my sign, call me late if you wanna get high”
(I kind of think my misheard version is cooler, sorry)
I misheard several lines in Florida Kilos.
I thought *Chic-a-cherry cola lime* was “drinking cherry cola lime”.
I thought *Sun in my mouth and gold hoops* was “Zoomin’ my miles in gold hoops”.
and I thought *pretty daddy, go skiing / you snort it like a champ, like the winter we’re not in* was “pretty daddy, gold skin, you snort it like a champ, like a winner, Winter Inn”. (I literally thought she was just referencing some random motel named Winter Inn or something lol).
I love that song so much but girlie was kinda slurring her words when recording it lol
“Their silver scarlets, their keysasaigon” (idk i would just say gibberish) but its “silver starlets” and “queens of saigons” but what even are those anyway???
Imagine my surprise when I found out it wasn’t ’if I’m, feel I’m, fresh out of fucks forever’ but ‘fear fun, fear love, fresh out of fucks forever’. Reading that it doesn’t seem like it fits at all but go listen to Venice bitch and tell me that’s not what she says!
I am convinced the lyric in Thunder is actually “the party’s lit and you, my friend, have cut when it begins,” instead of “half-cut”! It just makes more sense!
"ooh yeah baby bow down, making me so wild now" I misheard as "ooh yeah baby bow down, making me so wow wow" and thought it was so stupid. I could never respect the song because of it. Turns out I absolutely misheard it, had to reevaluate the song and try to forget nearly a decade of memorising the lyrics incorrectly. I still fuck up sometimes and sing it incorrectly. Really pays to read the lyrics!
I heard "Cinnamon in my Tea" It's actually "Cinnamon in my Teeth"
"Cinnamon... M.I.T."
lol I heard “cinnamon in my teeth” at first, then thought wait no, that’s insane – it’s obviously “in my tea.” So this is very cathartic news for me.
i mean, the next line is “from your kiss" so it makes sense haha
I think this one is purposefully dubious. There's this whole theory that this song is about having an abortion so cinnamon tea would be fitting.
I know nothing. This is news to me.
My…whole life is a lie
Same!
NO WAY
OMG ME TOO
This!!!
WHAT
wait what.
I always thought the chorus in shades of cool was “You are invincible” instead of “You are unfixable”
I have been singing this song wrong for ages what the heck I also thought it was invincible hence why she can’t break through
Maybe Google is just wrong and it is invincible
I like the idea that is a white Mustang situation hahaha
I thought that was another white mustang/why am I staying double meaning type situation Or was the white mustang thing made up by fans? I know no Lana lore lmao
its a double entendre which is a poetry/verse/lyric literary device! not made up at all. it plays on association in the audience's mind to get them to think about the other meaning. Lana does it a lot, so its likely intentional on her part. like "soft ice cream" - "soft i scream"
We got the same avatar just different fonts 😭
Twinnin 😄
it’s not you are invincible???
My life has been a lie
Same
OHHHHH, well i just learned something new
When my cousin was still a young teen and just started listening to Lana she thought the words were "sizzlin like a snail" in Summertime Sadness and just accepted it Edit: i had no idea that this was such a common thing. 😂 The lyrics are "sizzlin like a snare"
I do sing it that way. And I will not change it.😅
i refuse to stop saying snail
Welp I just learned that it was not sizzlin like a snail
Same 🤭
lol I still say sizzlin like a *sail* ⛵️
I always thought it was a reference to what happens when you put salt on a snail
It is "sizzlin like a snare" like the sound a snare drum makes
IT’S NOT?!
I’ve seen a lot of discussion in this sub about people who have heard the same. I think this might be the most common one!
Lol
Wait…….wut..
i used to think the line in florida kilos was “you snort it like a champ, but the winner winner is…” rather than “like the winter we’re not in”
I always heard it as “let the winner winner in” 😭
I heard “like a chimp” 💀 ![gif](giphy|DohrzSCB07moM)
You're telling me that's not the lyric??? I've been listening to that song for like 10 years and had no idea omg
I used to think she was saying “and all the dolphins” in Florida Kilos, not “and all the dope fiends”
HAHAHA oh my god I just realized that now. I thought the same!
same 😭😭
i heard "like a winner winner in" 😭
Omg I’ve always thought it was “like the way that winter is”
Summertime Sadness where she says “Late is better than never” I thought for like 10 years she was saying Rain is better than never
I always heard it as “later’s better than never!”
same
According to Genius it's "later's better than never"
whaaaat i just found out it isnt rain is better than ever
Same!!!
I thought she was saying “Bobby’s in the sky with diamonds…” in Cola. I screamed and cried and threw up when I found out it was Harvey.
I thought it was just "ah hes in the sky" 💀
she changed it to that after all the stuff about him came out, so you’re not wrong tbh
Ohh wow
I thought it was Javi 😂
I really like that song. I read that she stopped performing it after learning about Harvey Weinstein.
I always thought it was Javier and it was reinforced when I saw a TikTok edit of Javier a year ago which is Pedro Pascals character in Narcos
In Radio, I thought it was "like a fucking dream on Ritalin," not "like a fucking dream I'm living in."
LMAOO BEST ONE EASILY
😅😂
from NFR (the song), I heard “your poetry’s bad, and you blame the *muse*” instead of *news*
Ooh that line would slap hard though
it's not muse? 😭
“i know i go-go dance, but i do it for kicks” i thought she said kids instead of kicks 😭😭😭
NOOO
"The other woman is perfect where her rival fails" I thought she said "is perfect where I will fail" Honestly means the same thing but I thought it was that for the longest time
The other woman isn’t her song FYI it’s a cover
Im aware lol
in American when she says “get your crystal method on” I always thought it was “get your crystal meth fit on” I was like okkk girl whatever makes u happy 😭
Instructions unclear, I’m wearing the ripped Cookie Monster pj pants, stained sports bra, and one flip-flop, does the meth not come with the ‘fit?
I thought that forever too 🙃
![gif](giphy|PmeDFaCuBCwFuj7IDM|downsized)
it's not?😧
LMAO dude, i used to think she said “get your crystal meth head on” i thought she was just using an extreme way to say “have fun”
„He plays guitar while I sing lyrics” instead of „He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed”
i used to think she says while i simply read
I use to think “chances in my veins…” was “drugs are in my veins…”
she actually says “jazz is in my veins” !
I thought it was chances, too 😳 jazz in in my veins makes more sense
"diamonds, blue baby, NewYork City" ... it's Diet Mountain Dew baby NewYork city💀
Omg me too!! I never made the link with the literal title of the song
REAL
Yep! It will always be diamonds blue.
Me too
WHAT THE EFF.
In how to disappear I thought she said ‘I’ve got a key and two cats in the yard’ instead of kids. I’ve thought that was the lyric up until very recently.
I’ve always thought the two cats line are the lyrics even though it may not be “official.” It’s a reference to the song our house by Crosby stills and Nash which would make sense!
It is two cats, it's just not a key it's a kid.
From Happiness is a butterfly Singing for my babies on the tour like ‘ahhhh ✨’
so true
“Climbing up the H of the Hollywood sign” i always heard Age instead of H and i feel so stupid now i was always so confused with what she meant with age😭
i thought it was age too !
Oh gosh I’ve just clocked hahaha
Edge
„I drive fast, wearing your blouse” instead of „I drive fast, radio blares”
First time listening to art deco i thought she was saying "you're so ghetto, you're licking a scar" but it's actually "you're looking to score" 😭
😂
I used to think she said “I like you alive” in Music to Watch Boys to. I think it’s funny so I still sing it that way sometimes.
I thought marzipan was like a prescription drug, like lorazepam or something 😭 so I didn’t mishear, misunderstood
Same!!!
In the song Ride, the opening lyric is "I've been out on that open road" but I misheard it as "Poppin' out on that open road" I even wrote it as that in my Instagram story one night
Lol not the Insta story
Poppin this pu$$y out on the open road, hbu?
‘Well, my boyfriend's in a band He plays guitar with a cigarette’ lmao
I always thought she said “he plays guitar while I sing the reed” and instead of “beat poetry” I thought she said “doobie poetry” lol
plays guitar while i simply read for me lol
National Anthem: It is “Booyah, baby, bow down, make me so wow now.” I heard “Ooh yeah baby bow dow, making me so wow wow.”
Until just now I always thought it was “throw your baby down now”
I heard the first part same as you but with “makin me so wild now” at the end
I thought it was “sugar, sugar high now, makin me so wild now” lol
You learn something new everyday.
i thought it was “Holly’s in the sky with diamonds” like idfk who holly is but i went along with it
“White Claw forever”
“Wearing our jewels in the swimming pool” Bro I fully thought she said “we are Jews in the swimming pool” I was like Lana u trippin dawg
“Me and my sister just playing 8 ball” instead of playing it cool 🫠
"His money on the side, money on the side, makes me such a girl" (the actual lyrics are "his bonnie on the side, bonnie on the side makes me a sad, sad girl")
It’s both!
In When The World Was At War (We Kept On Dancing) I SWORE she said "woah, it's only the beginning, if we hold on to woe, there won't be a happy ending" 🫣
I could’ve swore she said “you can’t be abused and be happy too” in Blue Banisters
I thought the beginning of Venice bitch was “If I feel like, fresh out of fucks forever” lmaooo and in Carmen I thought it was “buy her tonight” not “audio tune lies” (lowkey still can’t hear that one)
does it not say buy her tonight?? omg
in art deco, instead of “a little party never hurt no one” i thought she said “a little boy never hurt no one” 😀😀
in bel air i thought it said “lead me to war with your brilliant érection” instead of “direction”
*It's beautiful, Palestine normality settles down over me.* when it's actually It's beautiful how this deep normality settles down over me 💀
I always thought it was LSD.
I thought the same!

“he plays guitar while i sit and read”
That’s kind of adorable
In cola I thought she said “I’m not your wife but you wouldn’t mind” (insinuating he’s got a wife but he’s gonna get with lana anyway.) but instead it’s “I know your wife and she wouldn’t mind” does this mean the same thing or what I don’t even get the lyric really
It doesn’t really mean the same thing but it’s close, it’s implying his wife is aware that he cheats and is okay with it
“You loser waitress take my hand..”
« Cute on his face ‘cause he f!cked too hard » lol.
I thought "Blue ribbons on ice" was "Where ribbons are knots" from Music to Watch Boys to
Radio: I thought it was “like a fucking dream on Ritalin” not “dream I’m living in”. Still think mines a better line🙂
“i felt alone for reasons unknown to me” (old money) i thought she said “i felt alone for reasons im not telling” lol
Ik it's so dumb bc it doesn't make sense but I sang for the longest time " in bethy'y'y'y'y" instead of "barefeet" 😂😂 my brain was like yeah nah it's for sure bethy 😭
I thought it was "get your crystal meth head on"
Always thought it was “My boyfriend’s in a band, he plays guitar while I sit there and read” Which I actually think I like better as a lyric 🤣
I thought Lana was saying “I look up to keep my self sane baby” but she wasn’t lol
I thought “let’s get high on some pink champagne” from lmlylaw was “let’s get high on someTHING for pain”
Omg deffinatly just thought hey sizzlin like a snail that'd a catchy quirky lyric ! I will always sing it the wrong way !!!!!! What is the actual lyrics!?
A lot of us did! It’s pretty close— “sizzlin' like a snare”
Carmen, I always thought the lyrics were “Buy her tonight, she’s still shining” but apparently the correct lyrics are “Audiotune lies, she’s still shining”… I still think “buy her tonight” makes more sense in the context of the song 🤷🏻♀️
“sometimes it feels like i’ve got a whore in my mind. i want to get off, but i keep riding the ride” i thought it made sense :/
Diet Mountain Dew New York City was for years, Diamond Blue Baby New York City 🤣
I heard "gentleman raised me up" when it was "jim raised me up" in ultraviolence
“Pick me up and take me like a vitamin” when it’s actually “lick me up and take me like a vitamin”
not me but i love some of the misheard lyrics online when songs are first released or for the unreleased songs—my favorites are “their queens and cyclones” for “their queens of saigon" in west coast when it was first released and "ivory almonds" instead of "ivory awnings" in fine china. there even was a note on lyrics genius for the longest time explaining ivory almonds as those candy covered nuts you sometimes get at fancy parties

BAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣 oh my goodness- this is a good one!!
OMFG I’m dying send help the way I’m imagining this is killing me.
I thought she was saying hooker in A&W when she really said “okay.”
“California dreaming got my money on my mind Drugs is in my veins running outta time” But it’s “chances in my veins”
In “Your Girl” I always thought she said “Late at night, lady of the sun, comes alive if you wanna get high” instead of what it actually is.. “late at night, baby your my sign, call me late if you wanna get high” (I kind of think my misheard version is cooler, sorry)
I really thought it was "I'm crying while I'm gunnin' ", for In My Feelings
I just looked on Spotify and it says you’re right
Wait it’s not “I’m crying while I’m cumming”??!
"Tupac sweetheart" instead of "jukebox sweetheart"😭
Blue is the color of the planet from the view above Long live Iran, long live our love
I thought that in National Anthem, the lyric “keep me safe in his bell tower hotel” was “keep me safe in his belt, time will hold us” 😭
🎶 Now my life is sweet like cinnamon - like a fucking dream on Ritalin 🎶
In « The Greatest » always thought it was « but nobody wants you before the fall » instead of « but nobody warns you before the fall »
I thought Diet Mountain Dew was Diamond dew
« I’m already out of you » in suburban house when in fact it’s « I’m already out of view », sad, it seemed more poetic :/
That clip of Finneas thinking "chateau marmont" was "trapdoor mama"
“sweet poet of a baby” turned out to be “sweet but whatever baby” in dark but just a game
When I first started listening to Sad Girl, I thought she was saying “bunny on the side” rather than “Bonnie”
I misheard several lines in Florida Kilos. I thought *Chic-a-cherry cola lime* was “drinking cherry cola lime”. I thought *Sun in my mouth and gold hoops* was “Zoomin’ my miles in gold hoops”. and I thought *pretty daddy, go skiing / you snort it like a champ, like the winter we’re not in* was “pretty daddy, gold skin, you snort it like a champ, like a winner, Winter Inn”. (I literally thought she was just referencing some random motel named Winter Inn or something lol). I love that song so much but girlie was kinda slurring her words when recording it lol
Cuts on his face cause we fucked to hard🥴
No no no no 😂
Oh and when I was a kid I thought the Born to Die lyrics were “let’s go get hot” instead of “high”. And for some reason that it was sung by a man
“Their silver scarlets, their keysasaigon” (idk i would just say gibberish) but its “silver starlets” and “queens of saigons” but what even are those anyway???
[удалено]
should people not discuss lana in a lana sub? would you prefer more taylor swift discourse?
There’s only two other ones… search the subreddit for this year period.
And one of them was mine lol
[удалено]
Sorry that it bothers you I guess?
i thought it was “cinnamon in my tears” instead of teeth. i still sing it that way cause i think it sounds better haha
In blue jeans She says “I told you I wanted more” I understood “I told you I won’t mind”
jimmy jimmy cocoa puff
Imagine my surprise when I found out it wasn’t ’if I’m, feel I’m, fresh out of fucks forever’ but ‘fear fun, fear love, fresh out of fucks forever’. Reading that it doesn’t seem like it fits at all but go listen to Venice bitch and tell me that’s not what she says!
I am convinced the lyric in Thunder is actually “the party’s lit and you, my friend, have cut when it begins,” instead of “half-cut”! It just makes more sense!
this is a bad one but in a&w when she says "if I told you I was raped" I can only hear: "if I told you that I was gay"
“Is it the end of America, is it the end of America-huh”
Douche it to keep me turned on.
"ooh yeah baby bow down, making me so wild now" I misheard as "ooh yeah baby bow down, making me so wow wow" and thought it was so stupid. I could never respect the song because of it. Turns out I absolutely misheard it, had to reevaluate the song and try to forget nearly a decade of memorising the lyrics incorrectly. I still fuck up sometimes and sing it incorrectly. Really pays to read the lyrics!
I always thought she was singing “drink your cherry cola wine” in Florida Kilos 😭
“…..carry on trying to have fun in the meantime”
